Chapter 628: Dreams always wake up at 628
By that time, he had to ruthlessly trample Mu Hanyan beneath his feet and pick up his lost dignity piece by piece. He wanted everyone in Cangshan City to see the consequences of offending Mo Yanhong.
As for Yan Yuchu, well, being favored by the Yan Family, he deserved some respect; a light beating to release some tension would suffice.
"Dare to act tough in front of me, tomorrow I will expose you for who you really are." Imagining Mu Hanyan begging pitifully at his feet, Mo Yanhong trembled with excitement.
Unfortunately, at this moment, he hadn’t considered that, although pleasant, dreams eventually come to an end.
...
"Hanyan, there’s something I need your help with. I hesitated to ask a few days ago since you seemed exhausted," Yan Yuchu said to Mu Hanyan after dinner, when Mu Cheng, Wu Qiuyun, and Ye Lanfeng had all retired to their rooms.
"Go ahead, we are allies in life and death, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about," Mu Hanyan said generously.
Her understanding of Yan Yuchu deepened after this trip to Exotic Beast Valley.
Due to his past experiences, Yan Yuchu was often extreme and proud with hardly any friends. But once he accepted someone, he didn’t hold back. Such a person was completely trustworthy.
Yan Yuchu’s character was actually very similar to hers in her previous life. It was precisely because of such a character that in her past life she had died tragically at the hands of a trusted friend.
Of course, Yan Yuchu was luckier than she was because he knew Mu Hanyan. As long as his nature remained unchanged, even if it meant death, Mu Hanyan would never betray him.
"Ever since you helped me condense and purify the Sky Star Energy last time, my strength has improved significantly. I should have reached the Second-level Sword Master by now, but my energy is still impure and I need your help again," said Yan Yuchu, who after the battle with Xia Youchen, truly regarded her as an ally in life and death, which made him somewhat embarrassed to ask for help again.
"Why didn’t you say so earlier?" Mu Hanyan said, slightly annoyed.
She hadn’t realized that Yan Yuchu’s cultivation was progressing so quickly. If he had spoken sooner, she would have already helped him condense his energy, benefiting herself in the process. Just a few days ago, she was exhausted from the fight with Xia Youchen where she was severely drained. She barely recovered and had to help Ling Baobao understand the mantra. On the way back, while rushing, she had to forcefully use Energy Movement for recovery. If she had Yan Yuchu’s Sky Star Energy, she wouldn’t have to exhaust herself.
"Is it because you were worried it would be too exhausting and harm your foundation?" Yan Yuchu, not knowing that Mu Hanyan helping him was also helping herself, thought her annoyance was due to his lack of honesty, and felt even more ashamed.
"Let’s go, I’ll help you condense your energy right now," Mu Hanyan saw the guilt on Yan Yuchu’s face and secretly chuckled, but didn’t find it appropriate to explain this secret.
The gentle Heavenly Heart Energy flowed through Yan Yuchu’s Eight Extraordinary Meridians, then returned to the Heart Meridian within Mu Hanyan, forming a perfect cycle.
With previous experience, this time was even smoother. In just two hours, the impure Nine Heavens Star Power within Yan Yuchu was completely drawn out, leaving behind only the purest Heavenly Star Power. And in the Heart Meridian of Mu Hanyan, a tremendous power was gathering.
Yan Yuchu didn’t delay. He immediately returned to his room to break through the barriers to the Second-level Sword Master, while Mu Hanyan again cycled the Cultivation Technique, refining and absorbing the Nine Heavens Star Power originating from Yan Yuchu.
